Re: Dead Ignition System

What year is it? If it has a computer, try replacing it with another known working computer. The computer doesn't provide spark, but it controls the curve and if its shorted or otherwise damaged it might not allow proper spark.

Try the solenoid on the starter. It supplies voltage during cranking. Wire up a hot wire directly from the battery to the distributor and see if it will run that way. If it does, then you're not getting enough cranking voltage from the solenoid. Try replacing the solenoid (best to just buy a whole starter) and give it another shot.
